KTVU reports that 10 people, eight adults and two children, were critically injured and taken to San Francisco General Hospital. Many of the injuries were broken bones and/or burns.

The Aviation Herald reports the plane impacted the edge separating the runway from the San Francisco Bay, causing the tail, gear, and engines to separate and the aircraft to bounce and spin before coming to a stop left of the runway.

“We were approaching perfectly well, but we were too low,” Benjamin Levy, a passenger on the flight, told NBC News. “When the pilot realized it, he put some more gas to correct it, but it was too late, so we hit the runway pretty bad, and we started going up in the air again, and we landed pretty hard.”

"Last week 28L did not have an ILS or VASIS due to upgrades at the airport.
The only instrument approaches availible was localiser or GPS.
VASIS is relayed on for final glide slope guidance after becoming visual. This may have been a factor in the undershoot and initial impact with the sea wall."
